I think we all need to keep doing things to build up ourselves and for me it will be practicing my hypnotherapy, enjoying my zoom gathering with my closest trans friends and sharing thoughts on TP.

How about you? Could it be shopping, getting with friends, gaming, telly?

I’m visiting a friend who I haven’t seen in a while on my way up North to visit my daughter her family this Sunday. We are having a ‘going away party’ for my SIL who will be deploying soon for six months. It’s going to be a beautiful sunny 75° F today so I’m sure we’ll have BBQ fired up while there.

Well, not much honestly, I haven't felt great lately. I'm watching a movie, hopefully a Star Wars one, with friends tonight on discord. Other than that I may just chill and play Stardew Valley on my Switch and watch shows. I should *probably* do the next chapter in the mindfulness self compassion workbook.

Sadly I am.unable to to do much for Breanna this weekend.  I spent the day moving large heavy lumber for a new deck I will be building soon. I broke 2 nails so fat and almost cried.  When I am done with the deck I WILL be getting a manicure.  for dinner I grilled some chicken.

 

Tomorrow I will be getting the retest of the wood needed.  Might end up coming out to a friend that will be visiting. 

 

I am in desperate need of a girls day.

Exercising. My knee seems to have recovered and I did a full set of weight training exercises today. Another scheduled for tomorrow, although it's arm day, so the knee gets a day off.

Well, I have had some strip steak marinating in a spicy bulgogi marinade for 72 hours and I will be making bulgogi jerky today.  Depending on how I feel, I may also dehydrate some sweet peppers that I got a great deal on ($1.00 for 2# of peppers we couldn't sell at the store because they had a little bruising on them).

Yesterday, I booked a vacation for just my wife and I to Seattle (first time for lots of things there!). After that we met up with a friend to play games together. Today, not sure what I am going to be doing, my wife works, so I might just be chilling out and chatting with people if I can.

Nothing.

 

This weekend has been all about doing the chores I didn't have time for during the week and supporting my extended family. There was a thing I was going to do with my friends, but nothing came of it so we called it off.

 

Today is going to be more of the same.

 

Hugs!

Well, poop.  I just posted what I am doing this weekend in the "coffee's on" thread.  Didn't see this one until after I had already posted there.  So anyway, I did stuff and have more stuff planned today.

The weekend is usually the busiest time for me. Check the car, sort essentials in the garden, visit my mother, have a family get together on Skype with my son and family, do the weekly shop then, after preparing and eating Sunday lunch, crashing out and relaxing lo. It doesn't vary much!

Hi All,

 

My default day or weekend or week these days is always the same.

I work, I repair my damaged apartment, I clean my apartment, I sort stuff,

I clean up. Then I do my work that I love.

But it's not always the best for my spirits so this week I've

pledged to say yes to everything social. That feels good.

And coming to GP is social. So thanks.

Hugs,
Davie

This weekend I don't have much planned for me actually. We will be seeing a friend in need on Saturday and on Sunday I am seeing my dad prior to me house sitting for him while he goes off to San Antonio. Not sure how I feel about not setting time aside for me, except it is what it is.

I have no specific plans. I want to hit the gym Sunday morning and I need to go to the bank, but that's the beginning and end of it.

 

Maybe sleep in. Sleeping in would be nice.

 

An adult conversation would be good too. I need an adult. ?

 

Hugs!

Was planning on getting my shop tools moved over here on Saturday.   But they're calling for rain, so nope.  But I will drop by my daughter's for a bit.   One of my other daughters will be there (they were going to help with woman-handling the stuff) for a visit.

Outside of that, I'll just try to stay out of trouble.

Well I thought my friday dinner date with a friend would be a good start to the weekend but... I was my usual awkward self, talked weird, I dropped food on myself, spilled water on myself, and she talked about her amazing boyfriend a lot and now I am just sad. I looked in the mirror when I got home and just felt ugly, stuck, and stupid.

@Jackie C. sorry can't help with the adult part.

 

@AwesomeClaire I'm holding you in my thoughts. I understand so much about looking in the mirror and feeling sad. You are not alone sister.

      From what I have read and heard most people are so.busy with their everyday lives and either looking at their phones or in a hurry to notice you out and about.

      This exactly ^^^   I actually really liked games where I was required to play a male character. It felt homey, in a way.

      Do you plan to be active during Pride Month? If so, what type of activities?

      By MirandaB · Posted

      Yes, our little town is having its 3rd annual Pridefest. I've volunteered the first two years  from setup to tear down (though I do take an hour off to eat and drink in the middle).     Then I attend a bigger one a couple towns over that has had some decent entertainment from some semi-famous folks (Laura Benanti, Patrick Wilson, Carmen Carrera, Judy Gold, etc).    This year I made sure to ask off of (weekend) shifts to attend a 3rd one where a group I'm in is in the parade.

      Hi Vicky, I agree with you, so far since the time I've been under the new treating doctor's care, she prescribed me medication, but it's for children lol  luckily  my pharmacy warned me from a phone call not to take the medication.

      Things hit the fan today. I was reminded that "this is not a gender fluid establishment."   I had changed my preferred name and gender at the hospital on their app. My x-ray report came in with my preferred name and gender. It was not appreciated by the centre. 😬

      Tips on eating a bit more? (Not an eating disorder, but it seemed to fit here best)

      By Justine76 · Posted

      I'm not a nutritionist but I've gone on bulking diets in the past so I can suggest a couple things to try. Foremost, food-prep stuff that you like to eat. Any 'real food' that usually sounds good to you. That way, you don't have the time-sink or hassle of cooking for every meal. You're more likely to eat if stuff if it's convenient and mostly ready. For example, I'll spend an hour or so one evening prepping burrito ingredients that will last me the next 3 nights. Then it's just a matter of microwaving the beef/beans and throwing them into a tortilla; takes 5 min.   If you need food 'on the go' often, consider prepping smoothies in advance pre-separated out into individual containers. I personally like low-no fat yogurt blended with fruit and, here's the weird part, those water flavor drops. They add sweetness without dumping in excess sugar. Insulated containers will keep them reasonably fresh non-refridgerated all day so they can even be tossed into a backpack.    Hope of those sparked some ideas!

      I did get a sorry from the mechanic, saying it was all on him. The boss just said I just went by what I was shown. I didn't look at the paper work. I thought maybe you should before jumping down someones throat.   I am still in the market. Just waiting to find the right one.   Hugs, Kymmie
